The starting text in this blogpost are the words I wrote for my page in the Grensland catalog. The Grensland project was a bookbinding collaboration of Belgian en Dutch bookbinders.There is more information (in Dutch) in the Grensland Facebookgroup and in Anneke's blogpost: Grensland

The sliding closure is made from a leather strip that I dyed with the same acrylic paint I used on the Tyvek cover. The signatures are sewn with home dyed linen thread on parchment reinforcements. The pages are Zaansch Bord in various colours.I made the binding to one of Monica Langwe's 'Limp Bindings from Tallinn'.

een klein gebaar....Deze blogpost wil ik opdragen aan iedereen, die onvoorstelbare verschrikkingen meemaakt in België en de rest van de wereld.Vogels verzamelen nestmateriaal in onze tuin, ik wens ook alle mensen een veilig thuis.a small gesture...I'll dedicate this blogpost to those who go through unimaginable horrors in Belgium and the rest of the world.Birds are collecting nesting material in our garden, I wish for a safe home for all the people too.
